Microplastics in Marine Ecosystem 1st Edition

Microplastics in Marine Ecosystem (1st Edition) by Shobhika Parmar, Vijay Kumar Sharma, and Vir Singh confronts one of the most urgent environmental threats of our time: microscopic plastic pollution and its cascading effects on ocean health, fisheries, and coastal communities.

From the opening pages, this authoritative volume draws you into the science and stakes behind microplastic contamination. Clear explanations of sources, transport pathways, and fate in seawater are paired with up-to-date detection techniques and sampling protocols — essential reading for researchers, graduate students, environmental managers, and policymakers. Rich regional case studies—spanning Indian coastlines, the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal to wider global ocean basins—make the discussion both locally relevant and globally applicable.

What sets this 1st Edition apart is its practical focus: rigorous data interpretation, risk assessment frameworks, and realistic mitigation strategies that bridge laboratory science with on-the-ground coastal management and policy design. Chapters examine ecological impacts on plankton, fish, and coral, trace chemical vectors that affect human seafood consumption, and evaluate intervention options from waste-management reform to coastal restoration.

Professionally written yet accessible, the book balances technical depth with actionable insight, making it a go-to resource for anyone addressing plastic pollution in marine ecosystems. Whether you’re building a monitoring program, drafting conservation policy, or advancing academic research, this title equips you with the knowledge to make informed decisions.
